Calming Down


Hello All,


Well if you read my last post, you know that life is crazy. As always


Anyway-


When I got home from work last night I was expexting to be treated coldly by my "A". Well, once again he failed to meet my expectations He had my some clothes laying out for me to change into, he had the bathroom all set up with candles so that I could take a relaxing shower after my work out, when I was done with my work out he had dinner ready, and after dinner we all made sugar cookies as a family, he had the dough ready Who is this man? LOL!


He is on this kick to "get the family back in order". I have heard this all before, but I am going to enjoy this lovely ride while it lasts.


I have a F2F tonight, this is my first week as treasurer of the group, and I am looking forward to it. And once again I am going to stop trying to figure out what he is thinking, because every time I think I do, he surprises me and I know that I have not figured it out. LOL


One Day At A Time!


Let Go And Let God!


Easy Does It!


Much Love,

Wow, Dolphin, isn't it funny when you expect a barrel of garbage and someone gives you a basket of flowers? LOL!


This reminds me that harboring any expectations, great or small, is often a waste of energy... and just when I think I am the great swami who always knows what is going to happen, something like this shows me I have no idea what the future holds and a greater hand than mine is shuffling the cards.


Thanks so much for sharing, and enjoy it as long as it lasts!

Hi Dolphin,

Loved your post. My sponsor always tells me "nothing is forever", and reading your post that suddenly made new sense to me.

I was in the emergency room once and was hooked up to some monitors. I didn't know what was going on with me and I worried watching all those lines. Up and down, up and down. The funny thing is I didn't know what the heck they meant. I didn't know which readings were good and which were bad. I couldn't have changed it anyway. Now when I get stressed I try to remember that. Try to picture my life around me as those lines going up and down, and me in the middle, still. If I can get to acceptance I know that will happen for me.

Thanks for sharing...made me think :)

Kristen
